Description
Contrast CT PNS (Paranasal Sinuses) is an advanced imaging test used to examine the sinus cavities, nasal passages, and surrounding facial structures in detail. A contrast dye is injected into a vein before the scan to enhance the visibility of soft tissues, blood vessels, and abnormal areas.
This scan is especially useful for detecting infections, tumors, inflammation, and complications of sinus disease.
What Is a Contrast CT PNS?
Contrast CT of the paranasal sinuses uses X-ray technology and computer processing to produce high-resolution images of the sinus cavities. The contrast material highlights abnormal tissue and improves diagnostic accuracy.
Why Is a Contrast CT PNS Performed?
This test is commonly recommended to:
- Evaluate chronic or severe sinus infections
- Detect sinus tumors or cysts
- Assess nasal blockages or polyps
- Investigate facial pain or swelling
- Plan sinus or nasal surgery
How Is the Scan Performed?
A contrast dye is injected into a vein, usually in the arm. You will lie on a CT scanner table while images of the sinuses are taken.
The procedure is painless and typically takes 10 to 15 minutes.
Benefits of Contrast CT PNS
- Provides clear images of sinuses and nasal structures
- Detects infection, tumors, and inflammation
- Non-invasive and fast
- Helps guide accurate treatment
